CY 2-4 ZYL (14) (7, 8, -7, -5, -9, -8)
ZYL looked stiff in G1.
G2 83, 87 TO for CY, ZYL finding her groove, 107, 108, 118
ZYL has adapted to CY's game. G4 will be crucial.
ZYL ground down CY in G5.

10 months after her return, ZYL has "lapped" most of the top 20 players once.

The multi-shot exchange style is back to the top of the world.

Conspiracy theory incoming - did ZYL receive a memo from her provincial/national team coach Qiu Yike to...

China will always be the final boss of TT.

Macau, China the hidden boss of TT.

Very humble in victory praising Chen Yi, ZYL fulfills a storybook ending to the Grand Smash. Great ambassador for the sport.

What a comeback by ZYL! A great one for this match, an incredible one in life!

Covid-19 may have taken away our WTTC 2020.
Ito may have taken away my Olympic dream.
Thyroid cancer may have taken away my career.
Yet nothing could take away my way of table tennis.

Congrats Zhu Yuling! Great run from Chen Yi… Can Harimoto do it?

Harimoto still can't past the 3rd/5th shot on service and 2nd/4th shot on receive.

 

[NextLevel]

Hari-boy still trying to hold the table rather than go into the rally and give himself time. Let's see whether he can find any success doing this. His short game has to be perfect and so far it hasn't been.

 

[baotran]

No chance at all. Harimoto does not have anything to keep up the game with Wang, a typical one-side match.

 

[Janard]

Not a fan of WCQ but he's definitely the only player on the men's team who can uphold CNT's pedigree at the moment. Hats off to him.

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

Ya that’s just not gonna cut it vs WCQ. Congrats!

 

[golden_son]

Oof, what an ignominious end for Harimoto. He just had no answers... Congrats to WCQ.

Now we're only left to wonder what might have been if Hugo hadn't lost in the visa round. 🫠

glad i didnt watch the men’s final

 

[travelt123]

It’s officially the Wang Chuqin era since he’s the last Chinese player left that still has a dominant edge over foreigners and the last holdover from the dominant China era.
